Table 4.
Rough Limit of Detection (LoD) for each RT-ddPCR reaction. Dilutions were measured in quadruplicate in RT-ddPCR and in duplicate in RT-PCR (using primer/probe set from [43] as described in [44]). Targets with mismatches to both FAM and VIC probes are indicated with blue type. Mean concentrations are those measured in RT-ddPCR replicates at the LoD; for the dilution beyond LoD (gray type), concentrations are calculated from the LoD.
